Geez, this bike is touted as so eco-friendly ("replenishable sourced wood") I suggest you should run, not walk, away from this deal. Who wants to support people who believe that crap is relevant?
So let me understand, you don't want to buy from them because they try and use sustainable resources? Not only do you not want to buy from someone doing that, you suggest everyone else avoid that practice? Sorry, I don't really go out of my way to look for this, but it seems to be a good practice....bamboo flooring or packing peanuts from corn are good examples that come to mind.
^ The best materials for the purpose and price point should be used regardless of whether they're sustainable.
They market it as using a replenishable source but not all of it is, and are they actually planting trees to replace the ones that are cut down and at a rate that the trees are growing as fast as they're using the wood from them? Very unlikely, more likely is they're only logging forests and exploiting people for underpaid labor instead of using the best materials for a bike frame because it's cheaper for them.
That's business and understandable but to then market it like they're doing some positive thing...
I have found that bamboo floors look as good but are significantly less durable that a hardwood floor.
